FUNCHAL, 21 March 2008 – The forthcoming 2008 FIM Motocross World Championship season, to start with the Grand Prix of the Netherlands at Valkenswaard on April 6th, will benefit from a larger television coverage.

Motors TV will reach 79 territories and 15 million subscribing homes, with the co-commentary of Motocross Champions such as Frederic Bolley, Yves Demaria and Mickael Pichon.

Estonian Kalev Sport, a digital free to air and cable TV channel; Sport TV from Slovenia, reaching more than 50% of the national households; TV4 Sweden, a digital terrestrial and cable/sat channel, will also enter the large group of the FIM Motocross World Championship broadcasters which will expand also to Indonesia -through the terrestrial channel Trans7 for live and delayed coverage- and Thailand – through True Visions.
